She
resides at a depth of 134 ft near Dixie Shoals
in Key Largo. The depth at the highest point of
the ship is 60-65 ft, depending on the tide level.

Since
her sinking
in 2002, the Spiegel Grove had been lying
on her starboard side. Due to the waves/currents/surge from
Hurricane Dennis, the Spiegel Grove now sits upright as
shown here (this image is not an actual photograph).

To defray
the costs of cleanup, preparation, and towing, the
Key Largo Chamber of Commerce Artificial Reef Committee
will be selling medallions which will be required for divers
wishing to visit the artificial reefs off the Upper Keys.

Two versions are
available:

Lifetime Medallion:

Purchaser's
name will be engraved on the plaque
which will be installed on
the USS Spiegel Grove.

$250

(only 1000 will
be cast/sold)

Annual Medallion:

To be purchased
annually,
for access to any of the
Upper Keys Artificial Reefs.

$10

Lifetime Medallions can
be ordered by calling the
Key Largo Chamber of Commerce at (305) 451-4747.
